WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - The Canadian government will on Friday unveil plans to require railways to make minimum grain shipments over a specified time period to help deal with a massive backlog, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.


Ottawa is due to make the announcement at 1130 eastern (1630 GMT). Canadian National Railway Co <CNR.TO> and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd <CP.TO> say the problem is partly due to record crops of wheat and canola as well as frigid weather limiting the length of trains that pull grain cars.
